I'm sooo happy! I just finished my first canvas project. Sewing its easy! I practiced a little bit last night, and today I took my tiller cover, I cutted the old stiches, I sew it back, and turned it over to show the good color. New tiller cover

Hi Gus,
Sounds like your project worked out fine. You had asked me awhile back about my sail number. Got the main out over the wknd. #970.
Had another setback yesterday. Was given a Chrysler 6hp outboard, not working. The repair shop said yesterday would be 4 -5 weeks before they can get it back.

Want to get the C-22 in the water where she belongs.
Checking all my options right now to see what I shoud do. Trying to borrow or rent one from a friend.
Keep up the sailing pics. Love em!!!

Jeffrey

oh man! That sucks!! I remember last season, I had outboard problems. It took 6 weeks to get my motor back! And it wasen't cheap! (200 bucks) Engine problems its something you don't want. Things go down quick in a sailboat, you want your outboard to start at the first pull to get you out of trouble!

I just finished ordering the things I need to restich my mainsail, 30 bucks, not too bad, I though it was going to be more expensive.

I will be posting more pictures soon, we are having another trip next month. A group its sailing from Oriental to Ocracoke, and another group will sail from Pamlico river to Oriental. I'm debating where to launch my boat. I might go to Oriental, if the weather turns bad, I don't want to be in the middle of the sound.

Good luck with the motor!!

Jeffry: Here's a picture of the last trip I made. And don't worried, you'll be in the water soon. Look, I've got the boat in 05. I used it once. Then I hated the boat, I didn't wanted to even see it. Lots of problems with the boat, leaks, and my family didn't like the boat. Boat sat in my garage for a year, and I didn't even touched. Early this year, I decided that I was going to sell the boat, so I started working on it. Well, I took it for a sail test, and I LOVE IT. These things take time and patience
